I have been so busy with life I haven't even had time to update.. I have been having the TIME OF MY LIFE.. just the other day I posted on Facebook that "Last year was the worst year of my life, so I think God was really listening when I told Him I wasn't sure if I could handle much more, because so far this year has been hands down the best." I've done a lot of traveling, made some great new friends, and had some love interests.
I finally graduated from Del Mar.. and will be done with A&M in December of 2010. I have this semester, field basing in spring, 3 more classes in summer, and then my student teaching in the fall. I can't believe I am almost done. I'm just not really sure what I want to do right after I finish. I have been seriously considering joining the Peace Corps, and if so, I have to start applying starting in January. I have been reading up a lot on it, and have a friend from high school who is currently in Lesotho, Africa. I would rather be somewhere a little closer to home though. In fact, I said I wanted to be like in Jamaica. What I want to do is teach English. I know in some programs though, you don't have amenities such as running water or electricity. I want to be somewhere where I WILL have these. I am willing to sacrifice my time, but not necessarily my comfort. If that makes me selfish, then so be it.. but at least I'm honest. The ONLY thing I would be worried about is my safety. I think I can deal with the rest. I've dealt with enough in my life... I'm a pretty strong woman :)
My other option is to possibly start grad school right after. What I would want to do MOST is Counseling, but that's another 60 hour program. I have a feeling I'll be burned out by then, so I am thinking it might have to be in Administration. Of course, I'd wanna start teaching too, because for any of these positions you have to have at least 2-3 years in the classroom. I'm excited, yet nervous and terrified all at the same time. I'm not worried about being able to have control and discipline with my class, I'm worried about my children being able to learn. As in, what if I'm not a good enough teacher that these kids are actually learning things the way they should? Maybe my fears will calm once I start my field basing.
I'm still not working, but right now it's ok. I have a lot with these classes and some require observation hours in the class. It will all work out in the end, it always does. :)
This weekend should be LOADS of fun!! Friday I think I will just relax, but on Saturday we are going out to Bob Hall for the day, then that night my friend is having a going away party at Lizard Lounge, and then we'll probably go dance at Aria. I'll have the house to myself so who knows, maybe an "after-party" at my house. Am I too old to say that? LOL.. It's all in good fun :)
Well I better get some sleep.. it's almost 6am.. and I wanna work out and do some grocery shoppin before class at 2pm.. eek! ;)
